Announcing New File Type Sample Files

UT San Antonio has kindly provided digitalcorpora with open source, publicly releasable samples of 32 file types. These are the samples that were used by Dr. Nicole Beebe to develop the Sceadan File Type Classifier.

Included file types are ASP, AVI, B64, B85, BZ2, CSS, DLL, ELF, EXE, EXT3, FAT, FLV, JAR, JB2, JS, M4A, MOV, MP3, MP4, NTFS, PST, RPM, RTF, Random, SWF, TXT, Tbird, URL, WAV, WMA, XLSX, ZIP. Each file type sample can be downloaded from the website:
* https://downloads.digitalcorpora.org/corpora/files/filetypes1/

Also included is a _README directory that includes a list of every file downloaded and a copyright statement for the files that are covered under copyright. You can access that directory at:
* https://downloads.digitalcorpora.org/corpora/files/filetypes1/_README/

This “FLETYPES1” corpus supplements the files in the GOVDOCS1 corpus.

Please let us know if you use these by including this citation in your paper:
